Claims are circulating online that Finland is a Nazi country or supports Nazism due to the historical use of swastikas by its air force. The emblem, which holds diverse meanings and in the Western world served as an auspicious symbol before it became synonymous with Nazism...

This is so bad it’s almost funny, found it trying to find a link for the other finland post, a great article to send to anyone who believes in the fact checking services, like they were nazis, but they just really liked the shape of it so it’s not a nazi thing sweaty, it was a completely different alt right figure who introduced it

    US also had swastikas on their gear before the war. Also a not uncommon symbol in some old architecture.

    To some extent it was a common symbol. But that it hasn’t been removed is the bigger question.
